The School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems, jointly with the Department of Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Sciences (College of Nursing and Health Professions CNHP), at Drexel University invite applications and nominations for a shared tenure-track faculty position in Biomedical Engineering and Rehabilitation Sciences, starting September 2013. This announcement aims to solicit applications from scientists with a research focus related to musculoskeletal aspects of human performance, orthopedic biomechanics and/or rehabilitation engineering.
Drexel's School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems is a free-standing (College-level) academic unit comprised of a multidisciplinary team of faculty. The present enrollment in the School includes 529 undergraduate students and over 200 graduate students. Outstanding collaborations exist between the School's faculty and the faculty of other colleges, schools and departments across the Drexel campuses. Particularly notable are the collaborative relationships between the School and Drexel's College of Medicine, the College of Engineering, and the Life Science disciplines. The School's faculty have also developed an extensive collaboration network with regional universities including the University of Pennsylvania, Thomas Jefferson Medical School, Temple University and a myriad of research institutes, hospitals and industries in the region. Faculty research interests spreads over a wide spectrum of the Biomedical Engineering Field, namely: Biomechanics and Human Performance, Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials; Neuroengineering; Biosensors; Biomedical Imaging including Biomedical Ultrasound; Biomedical Optics and Bionanotechnology Bio-systems modeling, to name a few.
The Department of Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Sciences is housed within the University's second largest College (4,000 students). The Department has 16 faculty members and approximately 200 graduate students. For over 25 years, the Department's nationally-ranked programs have used evidence-based practice, healthcare informatics, and strong clinical research to prepare students for clinical practice and research careers. Departmental faculty have successfully secured research grant funding from the NIH, HRSA, NIDRR, Canadian Institutes for Health Research, Shriners, Department of Education and numerous foundations. The faculty is looking forward to moving into their new 10,000 sq. ft. well, equipped multi-disciplinary research labs in mid 2013.
Translational research, cross-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research are high priority of the Drexel University and its faculty. Drexel's BME Faculty and students are committed to rapidly moving forward their discoveries into the related healthcare field. To this end, this shared position is designed to focus efforts toward the University's goals by joining biomechanical engineers, physical therapist and physician teams to tackle significant issues in musculoskeletal mechanics and human performance, injury prevention, clinical rehabilitation practices and assistive technology.
Candidates who wish to apply must have earned a PhD degree from a top tier academic institution. We are seeking only outstanding candidates committed to leading multi-disciplinary research teams, teaching (at undergraduate and graduate levels) and networking and partnering with medical and clinical faculty and industry.
Successful candidates are expected to have excellent research and academic credentials in biomedical engineering or a closely related field. They must be prepared to develop interdisciplinary research programs at the forefront of their disciplines and lead translational research programs. They should also be willing to participate in teaching and curriculum development, as well as supervise student research projects, both at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
Candidates with a track record of externally funded research will be given a favorable consideration. All faculty candidates must demonstrate potential to perform competitively in the following:
-Teaching undergraduate and graduate courses
-Conducting cutting edge sponsored projects in basic, applied and translational research
-Mentoring students and junior faculty members
-Participating and leading institutional academic committees and holding leading roles in national and international scientific organizations/societies
Drexel University is a private, urban university located in Center City Philadelphia and is recognized for its traditionally strong technological focus and career-integrated education. The School of Biomedical Engineering Science and Health Systems is a nationally recognized center for biomedical engineering and science research and education founded in 1958 as an institute that conferred graduate degrees (MS and PhD) in Biomedical Engineering and in Biomedical Sciences. In 1998, Drexel University approved initiation of undergraduate studies Biomedical Engineering and the full-fledged educational program (undergraduate and graduate) received its name "School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems. The School's graduate program is one of the oldest in the country. In 2002, Drexel University acquired Hahnemann's Medical College and the College of Nursing and Health Profession. This acquisition included the nationally ranked Department of Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Sciences with graduate programs in Physical Therapy and a PhD program in Rehabilitation Sciences.
